EUGENE – The Duck track and field teams welcomed a smattering of top West Coast collegiate and post-collegiate talent Saturday to the final day of the Oregon Invitational, at the University of Oregon’s Hayward Field.

Freshman Galen Rupp debuted for the Ducks in the men’s 5,000 with a dramatic effort in the evening’s final event. The Portland native weathered a mid-race fall just behind the event’s pace-setters near the 6-minute mark near the track’s northeast corner, and immediately jumped back up still in 10th place.
